Frantik, that stock tandem was something I would have totally missed and paid no attention to but rebuilt it demands attention as a legit bike with attitude! That's awesome, it came out great! What does your gal think of your handiwork? I assume she has seen this bike morph and change over the past couple weeks, does she get it? All the effort needed to make something on such a large scale grow into something cool, your time was well spent!
